MQMF (version 0.1.0)

setpalette: setpalette is a shortcut for altering the palette to R4

Description

setpalette is a shortcut for changing the default color palette to the proposed new R version 4.0.0 version before it comes out. The new palette was described in a blog post at developer.r-project.org and provides less garish and a more visible set of default colours that can be called using the numbers 1 - 8. An important point is that this alters the default colours for all sessions until a restart of R. Using something similar you can define your own preferred palettes should you wish to.

Usage

setpalette(x = "R4")

Arguments

x

either "default", "R3", or "R4", with R4 as the default value. Use "default" or "R3" to revert back to the standard R version 3. values.

Value

nothing but it does alter the base colour palette

Examples

# NOT RUN {
   setpalette("R3")
   plot(1:8,rep(0.25,8),type="p",pch=16,cex=5,col=c(1:8))
   text(1,0.2,"Default R3.0.0 - some garish or pale",cex=1.5,
        font=7,pos=4)
   setpalette("R4")
   points(1:8,rep(0.3,8),pch=16,cex=5,col=c(1:8)) #toprow
   text(1,0.325,"Default R4.0.0 - more balanced",cex=1.5,
        font=7,pos=4)
# }
